To everyone complaining about browser crashes on this thread, do not forget the Hard Rock Memorabilia site was released to the world back in March 2008 as the very first live site running on Silverlight 2 *BETA* technology. And it was the first beta.

Now that Silverlight 2 if officially released (Oct 14), and Microsoft has worked out most of it’s silly browser bugs, the memorabilia site is pretty dang reliable. It works perfectly fine on IE 6/7/8, Firefox 2/3 (PC and Mac!), Safari 2/3 (including Safari Windows!), Opera, and even the most recent dev build of Google Chrome!

look… it doesnt realy matter what microsoft try to use to “SELL” us thier crapy software and OS… Nor does it matter that 9 times out of 10 the linux comunity has something up it sleeves to match it, if not better it.

The only thing that matters is… Microsoft want your money… Linux Only Wants your help…

so given the options PAY for windows OR Dont pay for linux… When both are potentialy offering similar packages… which would you choose.

The truth is….
i still us windows

yeah google maps does that without me having to install a new plugin, oh wait i’m on ubuntu i couldn’t install it even if i wanted to. I say epic fail for being so late with something that’s been around forever.

I saw an online video demo of this quite a while ago, and it looked cool. But…
a) Moonlight is vaporware at this point, I have seen a few screenshots on the site and that’s about it. Silverlight is very non-portable, just supporting a bare handful of browsers on a very few platforms compared to flash, javascript, java, etc. Microsoft is I think trying to use this to leverage Windows but instead I think it’ll umm.. de-leverage Silverlight.
b) I don’t have a point B. But, really, they should just suck it up and use flash or Javascript, they’re already in common use.
c) @My Moniker Says: Yes swf is open. First, Adobe released full swf specifications. Second, Adobe has released flash plugin for many platforms, not just 1 version of Windows and 1 version of OSX like Silverlight. Thirdly, there’s 3rd-party software that does handle swfs, not vaporware like Moonlight.

im pretty sure that microsoft didn’t invent this. they bought the group that was developing it. microsoft did little work here.
